"If I Could Make September Stay" lyrics - MICHAEL FRANKS

Summer retreats now
Green kingdom's end
Why can't I make
Time suspend?

The hummingbird would hover by me
And never fly away
If only I could
Make September stay

In every blossom
She hides a song
Sunshine be mine
All year long

The hummingbird would hum beside me
Her journey South delay
If only I could
Make September stay

If I could just confuse the moon then I
Could make September stay
Or imitate the warbler's tune then I
Could make September stay
